Delta Airlines has clear policies regarding reimbursement for cancelled flights, designed to protect and support passengers[ || +𝟣-𝟪𝟧𝟧-𝟪𝟥𝟪-𝟦𝟪𝟪𝟨 || ]. If your flight is cancelled by Delta, the airline is generally required to offer you a refund for the unused portion of your ticket[ || +𝟣-𝟪𝟧𝟧-𝟪𝟥𝟪-𝟦𝟪𝟪𝟨 || ]. This holds true whether your ticket was refundable or non-refundable, as long as the cancellation was initiated by the airline[ || +𝟣-𝟪𝟧𝟧-𝟪𝟥𝟪-𝟦𝟪𝟪𝟨 || ]. You also have the option to accept rebooking on a different flight or receive an eCredit for future travel[ || +𝟣-𝟪𝟧𝟧-𝟪𝟥𝟪-𝟦𝟪𝟪𝟨 || ]. For cancellations affecting your schedule significantly—such as delays of three hours or more for domestic flights or six hours or more for international flights—Delta often automatically rebooks you on the next available flight[ || +𝟣-𝟪𝟧𝟧-𝟪𝟥𝟪-𝟦𝟪𝟪𝟨 || ]. If that alternative does not work, you can cancel and request a refund for the unflown portion[ || +𝟣-𝟪𝟧𝟧-𝟪𝟥𝟪-𝟦𝟪𝟪𝟨 || ].
